| |  | | | In Brief
Kahn attempts to give an "account of 'what it means to be gay in late 20th-century America' by examining the private and public lives of some 60 activists he interviewed in the New York City area. A series of short biographies chronicles the coming-out stories of lesbians, gay men, and transgendered persons . . . of varied racial, religious, and ethnic backgrounds. He also discusses how their experiences have translated into activism in such areas as homophobic violence, law enforcement, the military, and AIDS." (Libr J) Bibliography. Index.
| | | | From The Publisher
Here are the coming-out stories of some sixty gay men, lesbians, their friends, and members of their families. The coming-out experiences of these men and women - among them police officers and community activists, Catholics and Jews, Asians and African Americans - are represented in two stages: the process of coming out within one's immediate environment and the self-affirming step of coming out to the world.
